I'm making a wine rack:

and I was wondering how to lay out that sine curve on the piece of wood
to cut it. At first I thought of using a disk of some sort, but that
would yield a series of half-circles. If I can't finger this one out,
that's probably what I'll wind up doing, but I was wondering if y'all
had done something like this.

Thanks,

Make a template. Lay out a grid. Use a spreadsheet to plot points.
Use a French curve to connect the dots. Read up on how to use a
French curve.
